Yanagi Sashimi Knife 25cm G-11

The G-11 25cm Yanagi is a specialist Japanese knife for preparing sushi and sashimi. The long single bevelled blade allows the user to make clean, controlled cuts in a single stoke. The back face of the blade is concaved which creates non-stick properties and allows sliced pieces to be removed easily after cutting. This prevents tearing and bruising of the flesh. As this knife is made from a single bevelled edge, it can only be sharpened by using a whetstone. We recommend using a super fine grit stone to finish the sharpening process as it will create a smooth and shiny surface that will maximise taste of the fish.

The G-11 is made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, specially developed by GLOBAL as it holds a razor-sharp edge and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, each knife is carefully weighted by filling the handles with sand to achieve the optimum weight and perfect balance. 

The G-11 is manufactured exclusively for right hand users.
